March 2, 2011 – Half Moon Bay, Calif. – GoPro, the world’s leading wearable and gear mountable camera company, today announced the launch of the Battery BacPac, the second in a line of removable expansion modules for the company’s best selling 1080p HD HERO camera. The Battery BacPac is a standalone GoPro battery charger that also attaches to the back of the 1080p HD HERO, nearly doubling video and time-lapse photo record times to over 5 hours. This adds to the HD HERO’s reputation as one of the most versatile cameras in the world. Available for order today at GoPro.com and subsequently shipping to retailers around the world, the Battery BacPac has an MSRP of $49.99.

The Battery BacPac follows the incredibly successful LCD BacPac released by GoPro this past February. The LCD BacPac is a removable LCD screen for the 1080p HD HERO camera and, along with the Battery BacPac, illustrates GoPro’s dedication to providing its customers with innovative ways to expand the functionality of their GoPro camera without requiring them to buy an entirely new camera.

“Our customers have been asking us to produce a standalone charger for their spare HD HERO batteries, and we asked ourselves to consider what else a device like this could, and should do, “ says Nicholas Woodman, GoPro’s founder and CEO. “Thanks to the rear expansion port featured on all 1080p HD HERO cameras, the decision was clear. Make a battery charger, yes, but also allow customers to plug this charger and included battery into the back of the HD HERO camera to almost double video and time-lapse photos record times to 5+ hours. The Battery BacPac isn’t just about longer record times…it’s about enabling our customers to use their HD HERO cameras in more creative ways than ever before.”
